As someone that deals with HVAC Montreal's acronym being CFM will always be funny to me

There is another one of us around? 😀 LPS is supposed to be the new standard!

Wanderers defence looked quite confused on the equalizer!

1-1 at the half.

I believe it goes straight to penalties if tied after 90

Miljevic had a dangerous strike off the post. Halifax should have tested CFM at the end way more. They caught them out.

Just got home from work and originally was going to watch this match tomorrow but, bah, shit day, pour a glass and tune in.  Might cheer me up.

Glad I did.  One a piece and the Grounds look fantastic tonight don't they?

[Cheeta]

Drama!!!

Great goal by Tabla.

Great finish by Tabla, harsh on Halifax but they have done well, overall Montreal's depth and skill has shown especially in the 2nd half!

[Shway]

geeze at the double. great goal

[Cheeta]

Double Drama!!!

[gator]

Another by Tabla! I hope Montreal are drawn to play Forge at THF so we can have a go at them!

HFX have had nothing going forward.

Couldn't really lose tonight, soft spot for both these teams but...it's always easy to cheer for the underdog.

Unforced errors just burn my ass, and Wanderers had waaay too many of those in what I saw of that 2nd half.  Ug.

Two sharp goals to see the match out all the same.  Questions about defending besides.  Good strikes both.

Just got back from Wanderers Grounds what a special night for sure. Standing room under the kitchen behind the goal was 5 people deep. Wanderers had no business being level into the 89'th minute. Still the one for MTL to go ahead was heartbreaking. Montreal was a level above for sure - however we hung tough. Was a night I will remember for a long time though - unbelievable atmosphere that only happens. BTW i'm claiming we have top CPL TIFO to date. No?

Miljevic's first minutes for Montreal and could have had 3 in the 45 minutes he did play as he scuffed one from a few yards out and hit the woodwork on another occasion. 

Talba also gets his first minutes this year after a long absence due to injury. 

Montreal's depth chart is expanding. On the negative side Maciel was just awful and not just his giveaway to set up Bent but throughout the night.
